Chapter 1440: Chapter 1388-1389 Great Emperor's Tacit Consent, True Immortal Endorsement Chapter 1440: Chapter 1388-1389 Great Emperor's Tacit Consent, True Immortal Endorsement “One misstep leads to a series of missteps. If one cannot make up for the gaps, then one is doomed to lag behind forever, and the gap will only grow wider,” Star Lord Due spoke with a gloomy expression.
The Immortal Path was clearly within sight, and Immortality was within reach, yet for someone as strong as he was, not a trace of joy could be felt; instead, the weight on his heart grew heavier, and the pressure intensified.
Sometimes, the higher you stand, the further you see, and it is only by approaching the mountain that one can truly sense its towering majesty.
Now, as he drew closer to the Immortal Path, he felt its profundity even more, and the cultivation on the Immortal Path became ever more arduous.
Just like now, although the Longevity Taoist Monarch had initiated the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan, providing these successors with a vast space and an opportunity to become stronger and venture farther without fear of suppression by the predecessors.
But as they grew stronger, so too did the predecessors, and due to differences in strength, the benefits gleaned from the same world by the two groups were vastly disproportionate.
The stronger became even stronger, and while these successors exerted themselves to catch up, far from narrowing the gap, it only widened.
Facing such a situation, they also had no grounds for grievance, for everyone started from the same point and faced the same circumstances. One could not simply expect more benefits only because the other party was stronger; there were no such rules.
To have such a situation was already very fortunate; at least there was a relatively fair opportunity, a chance to overtake on a curve and make up the gap, if only they could have a chance like the Wood Virtue Star Lord.
They should be grateful for the benevolence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch. Had it been the old days, these successors would have no such opportunities, only fit to trail behind the strong and pick over the leftovers, all the while at the mercy of their mood.
But could one truly be content with that?
No!
No one could be content, especially not the strong. How could they willingly accept a lower position when there was a chance to climb higher?
“You've said so much; it seems you must have some kind of plan?” Earth Virtue Star Lord peered at Star Lord Due, cutting straight to the chase.
From the beginning of their conversation, he had sensed something unusual about Star Lord Due, who was not normally of such disposition.
The words that followed seemed spontaneous but upon closer inspection, they seemed to deliberately play on his emotions, stirring them at every moment.
For people like them, every action was calculated, and such behavior from Star Lord Due must have had an underlying purpose.
Considering what was being discussed, it was undoubtedly intended to rouse his indignation; some sort of scheme was afoot.
And truly, at their level of Realm, the only issues worth Star Lord Due's careful planning would be Tao Certifying as a True Immortal and how to catch up with other True Immortals.
Although this was only a guess, it sufficed, so Earth Virtue Star Lord didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
He wanted to hear what news the other had received; should there be an opportunity, he would not hesitate to partake.
Hearing this, Star Lord Due was not in the least surprised by the directness of the Earth Virtue Star Lord, even suggesting that his very purpose was to lead the conversation to this point.
Without denial, he nodded and said, “Indeed, we currently have a plan…”
“We? Who else besides you?” Earth Virtue Star Lord didn't wait and immediately interrupted, inquiring about who exactly this 'we' referred to, whether it was the 'we' he had in mind.
Star Lord Due didn't dodge the gaze of Earth Virtue Star Lord and, with a smile, nodded in affirmation, “Correct, the 'we' as you conceive it. Only we share a common interest and have the foundation for cooperation.”
The 'we' he referred to were none other than the first group of Star Lords who had descended, the six Star Lords of the Southern Dipper Star Palace, as well as some of them among the Five Elements Star Lords.
Of course, this did not include the Fire Virtue Star Lord, who was a True Immortal, nor the Wood Virtue Star Lord, who had also ascended to True Immortality.
After all, their plotting was aimed at Tao Certifying as True Immortals – a scheme with benefits valuable to Supreme Strong beings but meaningless to a True Immortal.
“It seems this plan must have been proposed quite some time ago?” Earth Virtue Star Lord saw through the underlying mysteries.
Star Lord Due did not deny it and openly admitted, “Yes, it's a plan that Fate Controller Star Lord and Star Lord Yi Suan devised together. Now that the timing is ripe, they've asked me to invite you.”
“A plan formulated by Fate Controller Star Lord in conjunction with Star Lord Yi Suan?” A glint of sharp light flashed in the eyes of Earth Virtue Star Lord, thoughtful, as he probed, “Does this mean Emperor Monarch's tacit approval, or a chance given to us by the Emperor Monarch?”
Had it been a scheme by either Fate Controller Star Lord or Star Lord Yi Suan alone, Earth Virtue Star Lord would have thought it to be their own idea, without implicating the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.
But with Star Lord Due's words, explicitly pointing out the collaboration between the two Star Lords, the implications were clear.
